Riley is a 2-year-old Doberman Dog in Dallas, TX, who needs $2,000 for Stereotactic Radiation Therapy.

In November 2019, a couple months before my birthday, I came home in the morning from working a 12-hour shift at a hospital. I was exhausted and ready to go to bed. Before I get into my bed, my brother approaches me, holding Riley in his hands. I was so happy. I picked her up, she was only 7 weeks old, and I could fit her in the palm of my hand, but boy did she have the biggest paws.

Riley loves to play with any kind of deflated ball, and any stuffed animals. She enjoys running in the yard looking for birds to chase. She is such an energetic dog, yet she so lovable. Riley also loves to chase my other dog in the yard, and if she sees a squirrel run up a tree, she will stay by that trees for hours, running all around it.

My Riley is incredibly vocal, if she doesn't like something, you'll know. She won't sleep in my bed without me, so she'll end up coming up to me than the bed again and again letting me know she wants to go to sleep. Whenever I am down, she cheers me up, when ever I am stressed she cheers me up. It doesn't matter what is going on in my life, she always makes it better.

My baby girl Riley means everything to me. She has helped me through so much in my life. Riley has Rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer. Her mass has grown substantially over the past month, and chemotherapy is no longer working to control it. Riley's last option is surgical excision with wide margins and some bone, followed by radiation. I have tried everthing over the last 6 months.

I have had diagnostic tests, mass removal twice, and tried chemotherapy,for her. I have almost exhausted my resources. I need help to save my precious Riley. The last of my resources are going to pay for her surgery, but she also needs radiation which costs $9,311.12
